When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father worked outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there¡¯d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping(¿³) some wood ¡ª his coat thrown aside ¡ª wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves.

¡°Aren¡¯t you cold, Dad?¡± I¡¯d ask. ¡°No,¡± Dad would reply. ¡°I¡¯m not cold¡ªworking too hard to be cold.¡±

Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.

One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day¡ªand bitterly cold.

After we¡¯d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.

¡°Daddy, my feet are cold.¡± I said.

¡°Yeah, it¡¯s cold out here today,¡± he replied.

¡°Tell you what,¡± he said. ¡°Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.¡±

I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, ¡°How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.¡±

But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.

Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡± my husband asked one winter day. ¡°No,¡± I replied. ¡°I¡¯m not cold¡ªworking too hard to be cold.¡±

I hope my husband has decided I¡¯m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I¡¯m foolish.

Wherever Dad is on that great big farm in the sky¡ªI¡¯m sure he can¡¯t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I¡¯m working outside in the winter.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night¡¯s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off¡ªif it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that ¡°night milk¡± contains more melatonin(Íʺڼ¤ËØ), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk ________.

A. started sleep more easilyB. were less active

C. were more anxiousD. woke up later

2.Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?

A. It¡¯s used in sleeping drugs.

B. It exists in milk in great amount.

C. It can make people more energetic.

D. It¡¯s been tested on mice for ten years.

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Milk Drinking and Health

B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. An Experiment on Mice

D. Night Milk and Sleep

4.How does the author support the theme of the text?

A. By giving examples.

B. By providing research results.

C. By explaining statistical data.

D. By stating arguments

Why is volunteering important?

When it comes to service work, it is important to realize that the actual goal should be getting the most out of your volunteering work. 1.

Gaining new/social experiences

Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldn¡¯t be learned in a classroom environment. 2.

Giving back and helping others

Volunteers create better environments for others; they create healthier communities and they brighten lives. Jill, a senior student, has been a volunteer in her community for more than three years.

3.¡°They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.¡±

Creating connections with people

4.Not only does the volunteer work you do show who you are as a person, but it reflects many positive qualities that possibly employers and admission officers want to see. Volunteering allows you to meet a wide variety of people from all sorts of walks of life.

5.

Volunteering isn¡¯t one of the most attractive jobs, but it is one of the most beneficial and up lifting(ÁîÈËÕñ·ÜµÄ). It¡¯s taking some time out of your day and helping others. Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds self-confidence and lifts up the spirits.

A. Building career choices.

B. Developing a sense of achievement.

C. Volunteering means a lot more.

D. Building relationships with people is very important.

E. Volunteering is an excellent way to improve your independence.

F. She volunteers by performing in concerts for senior citizens.

G. Volunteering allows you to experience different environments and situations.

We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.

The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(½µ½â) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ¡ç10,000 prize, a ¡ç20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.

Burd¡¯s strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms(΢ÉúÎï)£®If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.

With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(µ÷ÖÆ) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(½Íĸ) and tap water to encourage microbes growth£®Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months£®Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control£®Sure enough, the plastic exposed(±©Â¶) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.

The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.

¡°Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me£®One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags£®The answer: not much£®So I decided to do something myself.¡± Said Daniel Burd.

When I was watching a sports event yesterday, I met with an amazing sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination.

The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong. I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold ¡ª his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.

I heard the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (»®Ë®) and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awkward strokes, the crowd changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and yell things like, "Come on, you can do it!" He did. The crowd went wild.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to take part in the event. Even though he recorded the slowest time, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors¡ªa man that gave his all, knowing that he had no chance but to compete because of the spirit of the games.
